THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE MANIFESTO

Lately there seems to be quite a few inspirational typographical posters making the rounds. Not one to ignore a trend, I decided to put my own, fairly cranky perspective on what is quickly becoming a well worn genre.

Unlike some otherexamples, this one probably won’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside and that’s ok. It’s not meant to. It’s meant to make you think, even if it’s just for a second. Let’s face it… words, no matter how pretty and sweet they might be, don’t really mean all that much if they don’t make you do anything.

So do me a favor, give this a read (and feel free to share it), but don’t print it, don’t try to find it as a poster or a coffee mug1. Just go do something.

I’d replace put down the donots with get on the treadmill. Moving counts just as much as calories – significantly more in some people. But I like the graphic and the way it’s designed. I vote T-shirt. Or if you have 12 of these, calendar. Love the disclaimer at the end too.
